I have been looking int Book Creator a bit.
It looks to be a great platform for my high Image (low text) materials.
Here is a link.
Read around to get an idea of what it can do.

    It sure is beautiful! Looks like a great option if you're only intending to share books with your students (rather than sell to others). It also looks like you can upload to ibooks to sell on iTunes. Nik Peachey uses iBook Author to create mixed media and image heavy ebooks, so that might be another option worth checking into. The advantage is that you can embed videos and such. The downside, I imagine, is that you can't sell on Amazon. Here's Nik's site if you want to take a look: peacheypublications.com - Books

    Amazon DOES have a tool for kindle picture books! I didn't know. KDP Kids is a free download, and you can see how it will look without having to publish (although you need an account): kdp.amazon.com - Kindle Kids' Book Creator | Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing
    I'm kind of amazed at how many tools there are for creating digital children's books. I had no idea!

    I know Kindle has something for comic books... I've never played around with it, though. I wonder if Marcos Benevides would have any experience here...

    Dorothy Zemach I asked Marcos. He said he used Adobe Creative Suite: InDesign for layout, and Photoshop for adjusting illustrations. One of the software programs that can make Vellum look like a bargain lol

    Yeah, my designer uses InDesign for paperbacks--or she did before Vellum came along. :) But we still lay out more complex textbooks for paper with InDesign.

Hello everyone

Hello everyone, Almost everything has been finalised in my story. Only the info about the creators (Author and illustrator) is missing and I need to have a professional picture taken of me and my daughter, Evita (the illustrator), but I won't have the pic until mid November :(. Re the font type - I used Arial. Should I change to Times New Roman? I hope you can find a few minutes to write a comment on this almost-final draft of my story. I have a question: as you know Evita has done the illustrations, but the background was a bit greyish. I asked a graphic designer friend of mine to whiten the background for me and to do a few minor tweaks. I would like to ask her in the future to help me with the next books in the series, too. I like giving credit where the credit is due - where could I mention Stella's name? https://drive.google.com/open?id=1i1oWSFC_8YNVQq0o9OyIj0wYQMGjDlh1

Hi all! I'm happy to report that my health is much improved. Thank goodness! Ain't nobody got time for being ill.

Hi all! I'm happy to report that my health is much improved. Thank goodness! Ain't nobody got time for being ill. So ... where is everybody? I know I extended the deadlines out to the end of October for people on the accomplishment track and the end of November for those working towards the distinction certificate... let's see some finished projects! :) Could the distinction people email me theirs separately? Either a .mobi or an .epub is fine. zemach@comcast.net is probably best. For the others, why not post here, and we can all give some congratulations and feedback? (Distinction people welcome to post theirs here as well, of course!)

It´s me again! I got enthusiastic and did almost the whole book. There are two or three pictures missing.

It´s me again! I got enthusiastic and did almost the whole book. There are two or three pictures missing. I'd love to know your opinion about: *the whole thing, of course! *the two covers- do you like them? Which one most? *the font- is it clear? big enough? *the last page- is it clear that lights are off? *the line in the middle of some pages to separate different situations- any other idea? *the dialogues- is it clear enough who is talking? If Fluffy or his Mum? *any language mistake? Eager to read you all, especially Dorothy Zemach!!! https://www.canva.com/design/DADFcVJg0dg/OHGA7qnG3hQA_uO99vRWsw/view?utm_content=DADFcVJg0dg&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link&utm_source=sharebutton https://www.canva.com/design/DADFcVJg0dg/OHGA7qnG3hQA_uO99vRWsw/view?utm_content=DADFcVJg0dg&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link&utm_source=sharebutton
